Talking Hi There.

I'm 21, in a relationship, and have lived in Dubai since the end of January...
I am really really beginning to miss having girl friends around and would really like to meet people...

-I don't really know how to go about doing that but I suppose this can't hurt

I think the reason that some people cant find friends here is they meet others first time but it never happens again, because they dont continue calling or contacting each other after the first time...so this way you can never have any friend to hang out with...thats my idea....correct me if im wrong

Red face gay family in Dubai

Hi there, I am looking to meet gay family in Dubai! My partner and I are in the process in moving to Dubai. I will be there more than a month before him and would like to meet some friend so we can settle in our new home. Please if anyone can give me more info on gay living in Dubai. As I understand, the gay live is a bit underground. We are not crazy about clubs, but prefer a good meal at home with friend or some outdoor activities.

A bit underground? No - totally. I am sorry to inform you that homosexuality is illegal in Dubai, so be VERY CAREFUL. Do not make it public knowledge, do not tell your employer, act straight in public at all times. Also best not to talk about it on public message boards either.

Whilst we may find these views very out-moded, you have to accept that these are the laws of the land and the penalties are severe.

If anyone finds out you are gay, you will be in massive amounts of trouble. Be very very discreet, and do not trust anyone to keep your secret except each other.
